Pavel Bains is the CEO of Bluzelle Networks, which builds blockchain and distributed ledger solutions for the finance industry. The last time we spoke was on episode 426 in January after Bluzelle successfully closed a $19.5m ICO. After hearing about the launch of its decentralized database testnet and how they have attracted over 1000 developers, 30+ blockchain integrations including Qtum, Icon & Wanchain as well as a JD.com collaboration, Chinese e-commerce giant that is the third biggest tech company in the world by revenue, I felt a catchup chat was long overdue. “A new data economy is emerging and Bluzelle is at the forefront of helping businesses and individuals to fully control and monetize their data in this revolutionary new world. The number of decentralized projects and dApp developers that are using the Bluzelle ecosystem right now is testament to this,” said Pavel Bains, CEO of Bluzelle. “Everyone thinks of Facebook, Instagram, Google and Twitter as free but they are not. We are paying with our personal data but recent headlines show how companies are monetizing, manipulating and mishandling our data. For blockchain projects and decentralized developers that want to change this, Bluzelle is shifting the power and control back to individuals and businesses, who are the rightful owners of the data,” he concluded. Bluzelle has already started building this “new data economy”, which has the Bluzelle decentralized database at its core. This manages and stores data across a network of nodes around the world, enabling a level of security, reliability, and scalability that the major cloud providers can’t match.
This week, we speak to Pavel Bains, CEO of Bluzelle Networks. Bluzelle is a decentralized database using Blockchain technology. Bluzelle allows individuals to rent any spare computer storage space to application developers to earn cryptotokens. Tune in to hear about: Pavel's background, journey in Blockchain and why he moved from Canada to Singapore to start Bluzelle Bluzelle's prior work with banks and insurance companies (including HSBC, OCBC, MUFG, AIA etc.) and how that lead to a focused effort on decentralised databases What is a decentralised database and how it different from decentralised file storage (examples of file storage projects include Filecoin, Storj and Sia) Tech stuff: where the data sits, how consensus is maintained Stakeholders in the ecosystem: producers and consumers (including how to become a producer/node) Why Bluzelle decided to have two tokens: BLZ and BNT Competition with the 'traditional' players like Amazon Web Services, IBM, Oracle etc and within the Blockchain space (BigChainDB) ICO journey: experiences and challenges Bluzelle's roadmap (Alpha in June 2018 and beyond) Pavel's outlook on the Blockchain space Projects Pavel is excited about/partnering with: Zilliqa, Sentinel Protocol, 0x
Binance billionaire Changpeng Zhao makes a few very dodgy statements on a potential exchange that Simon and Sara both agree might be more than a little bit biased. Ethereum falters with the influx of ASIC mining rigs in the market. Simon explains the new powerful miner and the pair wonder if the era of Ethereum making money for ordinary people is coming to an end. Vitalik issues a scathing takedown on a man claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto without any real proof. The SEC delivers a knockout blow to Mayweather endorsed ICO after the founders are charged with fraud and a host of false executives are uncovered. We discuss what thos means for other ICOs and how transparent the SEC is around these takedowns. Bitcoin is still overvalued to the surprised of no-one in a recent study. Although Sara does appreciate the nuances addressed. Further damage to Bitcoin with Reddit refusing to accept the cryptocurrency any longer. Although if no-one’s using it can it really be called a currency? John McAfee makes waves in the crypto space with news that he’s charging over $100K for promotional tweets for ICOs. It’s a funny story that’ll probably make you laugh but it’s noted that what McAfee’s doing affects real people and there a question mark over the legitimacy of these tweets. Amber Baldet leaves JP Morgan in a positive way for both sides. It’s a loss for the investment bank but after establishing their blockchain platform Quorum, Amber is ready to set off on a new venture.

Bluzelle fills a key gap in decentralized infrastructure, offering a database for applications that are built on blockchain technology — the data needs to be stored and organized somehow, and there’s no point using dated technology to do so. Bluzelle's technology has already been used to streamline the otherwise-painful Know Your Customer process for a consortium of global banks, including HSBC. The KYC solution leveraged Ethereum to enable the banks to reduce the time and cost of on-boarding customers, sharing customer data in a secure manner, and facilitate ease of customer data management. Once on-boarded, a customer’s entire profile is encrypted and stored securely and permanently in the blockchain, using a proprietary multi-party key encryption protocol that enables banks to “own” their customer's private data. Data can only be shared with other banks as specifically authorized by the customer. Pavel Bains, CEO & founder of Bluzelle shares the enormous potential for a decentralised database solution.
Welcome to Announcements with Host No. 3, Dr. Corey Petty, a show that provides you details on current events, upcoming projects in the blockchain space, and token offering details. Today we talk with Pavel Bains from Bluezelle. Bluzelle combines the sharing economy with the token economy - renting individuals' computer storage space to earn tokens while dApp developers use tokens to have their dApp's data stored and managed.
Bluzelle CEO Pavel Bains likes to make the complicated seem uncomplicated, as when he describes blockchain as simply an “authentication and verification of data between parties that inherently might not trust each other.” But he might be on to something. These days, threats like money laundering and terrorism have banks and regulatory agencies nervous. Identity Management and KYC have become costly in both time and resources when banks and insurance companies onboard new customers. As regulations increase, so do non-compliance penalties and other complications. But Bains believes the solution is as simple as leveraging blockchain technology (even as financial institutions have been slow to adopt it despite widespread interest). After listening to Pavel Bains give his perspective, you hope he's right in his prediction of how soon this could be implemented. Bains also discusses: * When a blockchain is not really a blockchain * How a 9/11 Thought Experiment can explain why more and more companies have become willing to undergo the process of costly compliance, particularly with access to the “Golden Truth” * Two reasons why he discounts a Big Brother-type of threat * What clients really want from Bluzelle * At the very end, his prediction on how blockchain will impact your kids and grandkids' insurance policies Make sure to subscribe, review and stay tuned to Future Tech Podcast for more on Future Tech news.
